1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Arabidopsis contains six alpha-tubulin and nine beta-tubulin genes that are expressed in a tissue-specific and developmentally regulated manner. We analyzed the effects of light on tubulin mRNA abundance in Arabidopsis seedlings using RNA gel blot hybridizations and gene-specific probes. Transcript levels of all 15 tubulin genes were decreased by continuous white light, although to different degrees. Detailed analysis was performed with the beta-tubulin TUB1 gene. The transcript level of TUB1 was high in etiolated seedlings and decreased to approximately 20% of the dark mRNA level after 2 to 6 hr of white light treatment. We showed that this downregulation requires high-irradiance light treatment and that multiple photoreceptors are involved. In particular, using phytochrome mutants and narrow wave band light, we demonstrated that both the phytochrome A (phyA)-mediated far-red light high-irradiance response and the phytochrome B (phyB)-mediated red light high-irradiance response are involved in the downregulation of TUB1 expression by white light. Histochemical analysis of transgenic plants expressing a TUB1-beta-glucuronidase chimeric transgene indicated that the downregulation observed only in hypocotyls and not in roots is controlled transcriptionally.
